This fall, Visions & Voices is proud to present
the world premiere of:
Accidental Rapture
an apocalyptic dramedy by Eric Pfeffinger
"an original, brilliantly intelligent and laudably
ambitious new script"
"This is the most promising Chicago premiere by an unknown playwright
since Rebecca Gilman's "Glory of Living" at the Circle Theatre years
ago."
-Chicago

“Accidental Rapture” is about friendship, faith and the end of the world. Since college, Amy’s become an art historian, Paul's a philosopher, and Richard's been born again. So Amy's not looking forward to spending an awkward weekend at the home of Richard and his new wife. Things just get worse when the end of the world comes, and a biblical loophole sweeps Amy and Paul off along with the saved. Worldly cities are destroyed, fire rains from the skies, lifelong friendships are tested, and hilarity ensues.
